I am using MediaWiki version 1.41.1, and I added a infobox template. My problem is, whenever a section is not filled with text, it will still appear but blank, (but I want it to be not visible completely). I have figured out a bit, but still cannot get the full picture. Here is a wiki page of mine for reference and code: Germany - Heterodontosaurus Balls (heterodontosaurus-balls.com)

All help is appreciated greatly ❤️

Probably you want the #if parser function. See help:Extension:ParserFunctions

Hello, I am currently facing a fatal error when clicking on a notice in my MediaWiki site, and I am seeking some assistance in resolving it. The specific notice that triggers the error when i click on it is: "You just made a tenth edit. Thank you and keep up the good work."

The error message I receive is as follows:

"Fatal error: OOUI\Exception: OOUI\Theme::singleton was called with no singleton theme set. in /home/[your_directory]/public_html/[your_site_directory]/vendor/oojs/oojs-ui/php/Theme.php:31"

I have attempted to clear the cache and verify the integrity of the Theme.php and Tag.php files mentioned in the error message. However, these steps did not resolve the issue. I suspect that there might be a compatibility problem between the version of OOUI and my MediaWiki installation.

Has anyone else encountered this particular error when interacting with notices in MediaWiki? If so, I would greatly appreciate any insights or solutions you have discovered. Your guidance and suggestions would be immensely helpful in resolving this issue.

my mediawiki site is Netvibe World

Thank you kindly for your assistance!

Best regards,

Davis Wanyonyi

Check that all your extensions are correct version for your version of mediawiki

Is there a way to assign the rights to upload different types based on the user group?

For example to let "user" can only upload .jpg while "sysop" can upload .jpg and .pdf

Can I do something like this in the LocalSettings.php?

You could maybe do it with extension:AbuseFilter

Hi there!

I just signed up for MediaWiki and I'm hoping to create a page about myself. I'd like a place to share information without disruption.

Unfortunately, Wikipedia has deleted my user page.

So I was wondering if it's okay to create my own page here on MediaWiki instead?

I'm waiting for your replies! :)

Hi and welcome. No, it is not okay as we are not a place to host random content. Please see Project:About - thanks! (You are always free to host your own website about yourself on your own server.)

Perhaps https://miraheze.org is more what you are looking for.

Really? How does it work? 🤔

Click that link and find out.

Any other sites like that out there? I went to Miraheze, but the status is declined.

Web hosting services exist. You could create your own website.

But how? The status on my wiki request queue is declined, so I don't know what to do.

If you don't have the knowledge to do it yourself and are unwilling to learn, you can pay someone to do it for you. There is a list of people who do that sort of thing at Professional development and consulting

I can't do it, I'm a beginner.

Then you are free to pay someone to create a website for you.

I don't have any money. Sorry.

When running findMissingFiles.php, I get a few files for which there is a database record but no image in the mediawiki/images directory. But what to do next? What I am missing is some documentation or hint of how to get rid of those database entries.

Are they causing problems? Why do you want to get rid of them?

Does deleting them in the web interface work?

There are 18 images affected. When viewing the File:xxx pages of those images, I can see that in each case one of the history entries is missing the image, instead showing an error message. "Fehler beim Erstellen des Vorschaubildes: Datei fehlt" / error creating thumbnail: file not found

So far so good, in each case there is a newer image.

I just wondered whether I could get rid of the empty history entries in the revision table.

Dear friends,

I´ve searched for the Tapiro from Italdesign long time.

I´ve found jsut 2 pictures from the interieur und nothing else.

Can you support me with my research?

BR,

No, as this forum is for questions about the MediaWiki software.

I have set the maximum upload file size to 150M as well as my post max size.

This is what my site configuration of the web server says:

php_value upload_max_filesize 150M

php_value post_max_size 150M

In my LocalSettings.php I set

$wgMaxUploadSize = 150*1024*1024;

But the wiki still shows me a file upload maximum size of 2 MB. Am I missing something?

Create a php file containing only

<?php phpinfo();

And browse to it to verify your settings are what you think they are.

The problem is solved. PHP-FPM has a separate php.ini-file, and I had to adjust the Upload_max_filesize and the post_max_size. Now it works.

The ini-file is located at /etc/php/8.1/fpm.

We have a new server where we are installing MediaWiki version 1.41.1.  We also have an older version 1.34.  We need to bring the data from the old version to the new version. What would be the best method for this?  Would exporting the pages from the old version & importing them to the new version be a good solution?

what os are you installing this on?

If its a new server, the best method would be copying the database and LocalSettings.php over (and images, and maybe extensions) and follow the steps at Upgrading.

I do not think it matters what OS.

Hi all,

I have two related questions:

My images are being stored in the default folder on mediawiki, and I'm deployed on kubernetes and leveraging a PVC. Is there a way to migrate those images to AWS S3 without causing any breaking changes

or

Is there a way to utilize a second PVC for only images?

Maybe you are looking for Extension:AWS
